  This is why black people don’t trust doctors.

  antivax didnt come around until an asshole doctor lied about the safety of vaccines, to sell his own vaccine… and took off like a rocket when that miserable Jenny McCunthy decided it had to be vaccines, and not genetics, that caused her not to give birth to the perfect blond haired blue eyed child she deserved.

    Narcissism and failed education leads to fascism. Who would of thought. The system we have congratulates assholery and abuse of power, so I’d say trust issues are expected.

    Implicit bias and stereotypes dot the landscape of the American healthcare system. White doctors and medical professionals often dismiss the pain of their Black patients. According to the Association of American Medical Colleges, “half of white medical trainees believe such myths as black people have thicker skin or less sensitive nerve endings than white people.” This statistic shows how stereotypes threaten the health and wellness of Black people.

      similar issue with women not feeling pain as bad as men… leading to women complaining of pain being treated with eye rolls.

  There is much more than that. 9/11 is not even on this list and that was a huge wake up call for millions of people.

  But yes, in general, all the lies are the reason why people dont trust governments or corporations.

    Let’s see… checks timeline: USA funds rebels (Al Qaeda). makes lots of pinky promises to said rebels with their fingers crossed behind their backs. and then when it was time to pay the bill and keep their promises… the USA said: “what promises, I never promised anything” while tossing the documents right in front of their puppets. cue pissed off Al Qaeda.

  Henrietta Lacks

  Lacks was the unwitting source of these cells from a tumor biopsied during her treatment for cervical cancer at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1951. These cells were then cultured by George Otto Gey, who created the cell line known as HeLa, which is still used for medical research.[9] As was then the practice, no consent was required to culture the cells obtained from Lacks’s treatment. Neither she nor her family were compensated for the extraction or use of the HeLa cells.

    That’s such a tricky one because unlike the other examples, this has benefited humanity. There’s no going back on it and until other cell lines are more common, we can’t really discontinue using the HeLa cells.

    At the very least though, that whole family shouldn’t have to work a day in their lives from all the profits the private pharmaceutical have generated from it. If I was a part of that family, I’d demand a full ride scholarship from Johns Hopkins.

    Her family fought a massive lawsuit about it, too. They didn’t find out their mother’s cancer was fueling genetic research until years after she passed away.

  i’m not saying it is or isn’t, but it wouldn’t be surprising
